Zgram - Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

April 25, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Regarding yesterday's Revisionist conference in honor of Ernst 
Zundel, I have only received a few brief messages, but everything 
seems to have gone smoothly so far.  To the last minute and 
especially after the terrorist phone call I received, I feared that 
the Jewish Defense League thugs would cause some trouble by toppling 
grave stones, smearing graffiti, or even set some fires and then 
blame the conference attendees - but so far, apparently they thought 
better of it - wise of them! 

Noted attorney Edgar Steele, one of the conference speakers, wrote me 
a brief note I am proud and glad to share with you:

"Ingrid - Ernst's name came up early and often yesterday, always reverently.
Our hearts and spirits were with him all day and into the night.  He awaits
judgment for us, for he IS us.  We will never forget, no matter what
happens.  We will always be him."

Meanwhile, I am proceeding with my plans to put some heat where heat 
belongs:  On the Canadian Government.  Ernst will be in court again 
on Wednesday and Thursday, and I have been informed to "expect some 
surprises."  I have an idea, however.

Here is a letter I wrote to the Consul General of Canada and Chief of 
the Canadian Embassy whom I met a week ago and who promised he would 
see what he could do:

For the record:

To  Robert P. Archambault
Conseiller (Gestion) et Consul
Chef de Chancellerie
501 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20001
Fax:  202-682-7738                               Re:  Ernst Zundel

Dear Consul General Archambault:

Today you will receive a Fed Ex parcel with approximately 1,000 
testimonials and character references, many of them notarized, from 
Zundel supporters all over the world testifying to the esteem and 
respect my husband enjoys for having given a lifetime of responsible 
service to a cause dear to all of us - namely Truth in History.  Of 
course I don't expect you to read all of those letters, but I wanted 
to impress upon you that I asked for your assistance in freeing a man 
who does not belong in a Canadian Gulag-like maximum security prison. 
That Ernst is being held without a charge,  much less a conviction, 
for more than a year already is a grotesque miscarriage of justice - 
if one can even speak of "justice" in this matter without contempt 
and bitterness that two countries assumed to have been beacons of law 
and order would stoop so low as to conspire in a political kidnapping!

I will ask you to please read one letter carefully - i.e., the letter 
in the blue envelope, written by our then immigration attorney, Bruce 
Leichty, who has summarized the egregious legal violations involved 
in my husband's arrest.  There is no question whatsoever that this 
was a political hit that is not to the credit of either the United 
States or Canada.  The sooner this issue is resolved, the better it 
will be for all concerned.  This matter MUST be resolved, because I 
will not rest, and neither will our supporters!

As I informed you in a previous letter, I have postponed but not 
abandoned my hunger strike.  If it really comes to that, I am ready. 
I am presently involved in assembling a fact-finding delegation to 
Canada comprised of name recognition media, legal advisors, and 
businessmen.  I intend to persuade a congressman or senator to 
accompany us.  We will request a personal meeting with Minister Anne 
McLellan.   Would you be so kind as to forward my 1,000 Zundel 
testimonials to her?  That would be ever so much appreciated since I 
spent more than a day copying them.

I very much look forward to your reply and, so we all fervently hope, 
meaningful intervention with the appropriate authorities in Canada as 
well as Washington, D.C., including Acting Director of Immigration, 
Customs and Enforcement, Mr. Timothy Haugh.  I am also informing my 
very large list of Internet readers what my next plan of action will 
be so that they can join in a letter, fax, and telephone campaign, as 
they have done before.

Thank you very much for having met with me last week. 

Sincerely,



Ingrid Rimland Zundel, Ed.D.
